INGREDIENTS​

Chipotle Orange Sauce:

• 1 chipotle pepper (or half of one pepper, for a less spicy version)
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• zest of one orange

Shrimp and Rice:

• a drizzle of olive oil
• 1 pound uncooked shrimp, tails removed, patted dry
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 1/2 cups white rice (I like jasmine rice or just plain long grain rice)
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Cucumbers:

• 2 small cucumbers (or one large), thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

---

INSTRUCTIONS​

1. Cucumbers: Toss together all the cucumber ingredients. Set aside.
2. Sauce: Blend sauce ingredients together until mostly smooth. But don’t overblend!
3. Rice: Cook rice according to package directions. Stir in cilantro and salt to taste (+ add lime juice, or the juice of the zested orange, if you want some citrus goodness in there).
4. Shrimp: Heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for 2 minutes on each side, sprinkling with the cumin, plus some salt and pepper.
5. Finish: Add the sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes or so. Serve shrimp over rice, with a salad or some fresh zippy cucumbers.
